EXTRA: Mary Coustas Was 49 When She Became A Mum

You know Mary Coustas as one of Australia's funniest women: the brilliant mind behind the big-haired, iconic character Effie who has graced our screens and stage for over 30 years. But in this episode from the archives, we're bringing you a different side of Mary.

In this No Filter conversation with Mia Freedman, Mary talks about her unfaltering desire to become a mother, the unimaginable loss of enduring 23 IVF attempts, and the absolute joy of finally welcoming her daughter at 49. It’s honest, unflinchingly raw, deeply moving, and a chance to get to know this beloved icon a whole lot better.

This episode originally aired on No Filter.
